Ruan Zheng looked resentful at the wet sensation under his buttocks.
He was heartbroken over the damaged bananas.
The guy who screamed at him had already disappeared.
Ruan Meng happily picked up bananas.
Xiao Kai pulled Ruan Zheng up, and only then did he have time to explain what had been teasing them.
"Gibbons are very common on the island."
"They are very smart and love to sing, just like they did just now."
Ruan Zheng asked, "Is it because of your long arms that you have this name?"
Xiao Kai nodded, "As long as you don't attack them, they generally don't hurt people. It's just that sometimes they like to play tricks on people."
Ruan Zheng asked again, "They don't have tails?"
Xiao Kai nodded appreciatively, noticing that Ruan Zheng was very observant. He had lived in the village as a child and had seen gibbons before, so he wasn't particularly afraid when he saw them.
Seeing that Ruan was interested, he added a few more words, mostly based on descriptions from the islanders.
"Their arms are long, and they often rub against the ground when they walk, which is very inconvenient. So they prefer to jump in the trees."
"They are naturally active and like to cause trouble; the villagers call them 'two idiots'."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Meng looked up inexplicably and met the gaze of her third brother.
They suppressed a laugh, and without prior arrangement, they all thought of their second brother.
However, thinking about my second brother like this makes me feel guilty.
Although it's only a tiny bit.
Xiao Kai didn't notice and continued, "They like bananas and tease people, but they rarely attack people."
"I've been on the island for so many years and I've never heard of them attacking people."
Just now, the gibbon had clearly left, but Ruan Meng deliberately made a sound to attract it to turn around, and also attracted more of its companions...
Harvest more bananas...
Xiao Kai suddenly realized that besides being smart and capable, Ruan Meng was also quite playful and mischievous.
So, after returning home, he embellished the story and told it to the manager and the staff, but unexpectedly, the young master overheard it during a sudden visit...
Of course, that's a story for another time.
After filling two baskets, Ruan Meng handed the baskets to her second brother, asking him to take them back first and give some to the Song family, the Fan family, Granny Liu, and the village chief's family.
Seeing that Xiao Kai was there, Ruan Zheng felt relieved and went down the mountain.
When Ruan Zheng returned, Ruan Meng had already dug two baskets of konjac and found some wild Sichuan peppercorns, a very fruitful harvest.
The third brother peeled the konjac himself. Ruan Meng asked her third brother to peel it all. When the eldest sister-in-law saw this, she asked Ruan Meng if she wanted to cook millet rice.
Ruan Meng took out a few bananas and smiled, telling her sister-in-law to cook less.
My older brother has a sensitive stomach and can't eat too many sweets, so he still needs to eat some staple food.
Before going up the mountain, the konjac had already been mashed into a paste, and the older sister-in-law had let it sit for a while.
Ruan Mengxiang prepared konjac, cutting it into slices and shreds, stir-frying it with chili and sautéing it with scallions, and serving it on two separate plates for Xiao Kai and Liu Jie to eat.
Seeing Ruan Meng holding a dozen bananas, peeling and cutting them into small pieces, the third brother asked keenly, "Little sister, are you going to make something delicious?"
Before Ruan Meng could answer, Ruan Zheng's eyes were already shining.
Not wanting to disappoint her third brother, Ruan Meng didn't tease him and nodded, saying:
"Wait! It's delicious!"
Sure enough, the third brother was full of energy, slicing the konjac so hard that it flew everywhere.
The second child, curious, leaned over and asked, "Little sister, can bananas be used in cooking? What are you going to make?"
Ruan Meng started coating the bananas with starch.
"Caramelized bananas".
After frying the bananas over low heat until fragrant, fry them again. I saw Ruan Meng mixing water and oil in the pot, and I felt a little sorry for the amount of sugar she poured in.
On the island, ordinary families not only cannot afford oil, but white sugar is also a rare commodity.
Ruan Meng not only used so much oil, but also added so much sugar. The ingredients weren't expensive; they were just bananas...
Xiao Kai felt sorry for her.
But when has Miss Ruan ever disappointed with her cooking?
He also harbored a faint expectation.
After two cups of tea.
"Ouch! It's hot, it's hot!"
Wow! It smells so good!
"So crispy! Sweet and delicious!"
......
The Ruan family members devoured the entire plate in an instant.
Xiao Kai and Liu Jie each finished a game.
Everyone gathered around the pot, waiting for the next dish.
Ruan Meng didn't even have time to fry it.
Ruan Mengyuan had hoped to be lenient with the Song and Fan families, but it was too late!
Not a single bit can be left!
Seeing that her older brother had eaten several pieces, Ruan Meng felt a great sense of accomplishment.
“Miss Ruan, I’ve made the decision. We’ll also buy the recipe for these candied bananas!”
"Delicious, so delicious!"
Xiao Kai made the decision, and Liu Jie nodded repeatedly from the side.
